@Bekacru commented on GitHub (Dec 16, 2024):

This is because we are unable to infer the type, as typescript does not allow type inference within the same object tree. But, it should be a union with Record<string, any> to account for that, at least for the time being.

This seems to work:

export type User = typeof auth.$Infer.Session.user;
...
     sendVerificationEmail: async ({ user, url, token }, request) => {
         const u = user as User;
         // verify no TS error on referencing the additionalFields
         const locale = u.locale;
         await sendMyVerificationEmail(u, url);
     }
